Here's How To Get In Touch With The Republicans Who Think It's OK To Fire Employees For Being LGBT

Fifty-four Senate Democrats and seven Republicans voted in support of the measure, which would make it illegal to discriminate against someone in the workplace on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Supporters applauded the move, saying the protections were a necessary addition to federal law, which currently allows employers to fire LGBT employees over their sexuality. None of the bill's opponents -- all Republican -- gave an explanation for their opposition during debate.

A total of nine Senators missed the vote, including one Democrat, Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, who supports ENDA but was at a funeral on Monday, according to a spokesperson. The Senate is on course to pass the bill in a vote likely for Thursday, but the bill's fate in the GOP-controlled House looks much less certain.

Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) had missed Monday's vote. She voted in favor of ENDA. McCaskill didn't vote on Monday.

Oreo

In June 2012, Oreo posted a photo of a rainbow sextuple-stacked cookie to its <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oreo" target="_hplink">Facebook</a> page in honor of Pride month. While the responses were mostly positive, some commenters were outraged, even calling for a <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/oreo-sees-support-backlash-boycott-gay-pride-rainbow-cookie-article-1.1103369" target="_hplink">boycott</a> of the product. Still, Basil Maglaris, Kraft's associate director of corporate affairs, <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/oreo-sees-support-backlash-boycott-gay-pride-rainbow-cookie-article-1.1103369" target="_hplink">said</a> that the positive comments on the post "far outweighed" the negative ones.
